Equities Flat To Lower In Asia

EQUITIES

The major regional equity indices trade flat to lower during Wednesday's Asia-Pac session, with the Nikkei 225 leading the way lower as the IT sector weighs. This comes after the tech space underperformed on Wall St. on Tuesday, with the NASDAQ 100 slipping as Tsy yields moved higher (the S&P 500 & DJIA lodged marginal gains on the day). E-minis nudged lower during Asia-Pac hours, shedding somewhere in the region of 0.3%. While there was a clear lack of notable headline flow during Asia-Pac hours, most pointed to the potential for a swifter Fed tapering timeline as a drag on equities.
